not with that attitude

(we commit a little tomfoolery 😉)

plenty of places w/ no extradition 🤷‍♀️

mfs doing stuff like this really need to stop living in america bruh 💀

it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends 👀

ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated

i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter

i’m assuming that cessation of twitter’s existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value

do you have access to their financial reports? bc i’m not sure how one can make claims like that otherwise 🤷‍♀️

like, i kinda see it wrt to the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)

real shit

ppl like to shit on twitter and the link (reasonably so), but it’s a legitimate challenge to run it and do so profitably, if they’re having troubles with their server costs, only thing i could actually fault them with is making a platform that takes like 1mb of bandwidth to serve like 1/3 kb worth of text (also allowing pictures and videos)

if your current rent suddenly because very expensive, or you can’t afford the current rent bc you lost your job, then ye, it’s not a reasonable option, but the only option 🤷‍♀️

idk about you but i’ve no idea about how twitter is run, there’s plenty of reasons they would be unable or prefer not to do that 🤷‍♀️

💀💀

as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷‍♀️

not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess

not misleading per se (more like confusing), bc ppl may choose read the article and engage with the post depending on the title of the article, which they expect to come from the publisher, not the user posting the link to the article (but that’s just my opinion 🤷‍♀️)

do you think there’s no value in not misleading ppl who don’t engage w/ the post? 🤷‍♀️

i kinda agree with /u/u_tamtam, it’s standard practice to not change titles when posting articles to link aggregators, so most users (reasonably so) operate off of the assumption that the titles aren’t altered

this gets esp confusing, when ppl change the headlines only slightly

me 😊

no, but sometimes you’ll go to all kinds of far away and hard-to-access destinations to get a particular tattoo 🤷‍♀️

this is the real answer hehe
